Example 13

In the formula, Me represents a methyl group.

Dichloromethane (200 g) was added to a reactor, followed by the addition of raw material compound 11 (1.44 g, 4.03 mmol). While stirring, IF5-Et3N-3HF (3.70 g, 9.67 mmol) was added thereto dropwise and reacted at room temperature for 18.5 hours (during the dropwise addition and reaction, the reaction liquid generates heat; therefore, the external temperature was adjusted to maintain the internal temperature at 10° C. to 40° C.). After terminating the reaction with an aqueous potassium hydroxide solution, the yield of target compound 12 was confirmed to be 22% by F-NMR.
